Sean Combs is now facing a lawsuit with over 100 victims, in addition to the federal charges he’s now facing. Between the civil and criminal cases, we will soon hear the names of Combs’ predator friends and co-conspirators. We will hear who else took part in Combs’ “freak-offs” which involved drugs and rapes. I’m genuinely asking people to show some patience here – wait until we hear the names. Wait until Combs starts naming names too, because I doubt he will want to go down alone. It minimizes the crimes and the victims’ stories to act as if every single person to ever party with Combs is somehow guilty of being a predator. Combs partied with a lot of people. Very few of those people were invited to the freakoffs. Well, speaking of, Us Weekly has this story about Denzel Washington and his wife.
Denzel Washington once stood up to Sean “Diddy” Combs after an all-night party in 2003. A source who was friendly with Diddy, 54, in the early 2000s exclusively shared in the latest issue of Us Weekly that Oscar winner Washington, 69, and the music mogul got into it during an all-night gathering.
“Denzel screamed, ‘You don’t respect anyone,’” the insider recalled.
The incident ended in Washington storming out. “[Denzel and his wife, Pauletta] had been partying until dawn [with Diddy], and they had seen something and stormed out,” the source added. Us Weekly reached out to Washington and Diddy’s reps for comment.
Years later, after facing several sexual assault and abuse allegations, Diddy was arrested in September. He was later charged with sex trafficking and racketeering. Diddy was denied bail after pleading not guilty and was remanded to stay at the Metropolitan Detention Center until his trial. He has denied all allegations.
We don’t know what Denzel saw, what the context was, or what else was said. We do know (from photos) that Denzel stayed friendly with Combs for a few years after whatever happened in 2003. That being said, there are no photos of Denzel and Combs hanging out in a social situation past 2004, unless you could Barack Obama’s 2009 inauguration, where Combs was seated behind Denzel.

A lot of people are suddenly trying to implicate anyone pictured with Diddy at one of his parties. As if Diddy wasn’t the biggest party animal for the last couple of decades. You will find almost anyone with a picture with Diddy,its what happened after hours and the debauchery that went on that remains to be revealed in full.
Always KNEW I loved Denzel….his character and vision makes him truly honorable.
@marymac
😂 he’s just really good at hiding his indiscretions. he and his wife will never divorce and the wife knows about Sanaai and the second family.
I keep hearing about the Sanaa situation. Has it been confirmed yet? Cuz woo chyle!
Who is Sanaai?
@Beech @thematey is referring to the actress Sanaa Lathan. She and Denzel did a movie together years ago and there’s a persistent rumor that they had an affair that resulted in a secret child. I saw the movie ages ago; I think it was called Out of Time, but I might be wrong. What I *do* remember is that their chemistry together in the film was off the charts, so who knows?
Yes, we should all wait to see how this shakes out. We can’t assume we know who was really involved in the nasty, illegal behavior. Here’s what we do know. A lot of famous people are now going out of their way to usher themselves away from the scenes of Combs’ crimes. And some of them have implied that they knew Combs is a bad dude, Epstein level bad dude. Yet, apparently, not a single soul made any effort to notify authorities. Or, if they did, nothing came of it. Messy as this is now, it’s going to be about a thousand times messier when all is said and done unless someone launches a massive cover up for the ages.
I agree that not everyone who went to Diddy’s parties were involved in the abuse or knew about it. Like Epstein, these types of predators operated under the cover of publicly associating themselves with a variety of high profile and respected people. Some of those associates knew and likely participated, others knew enough to not get involved, and still others knew nothing. But like Weinstein, Diddy’s behavior seemed to be degrees of an open secret. There were rumors for many years about his relationship with Kim Porter and iirc, Aubrey O’Day also spoke out about Diddy years ago.
So while there’s ppl like Usher who knew enough to get the hell out of there, some may have enjoyed the half naked women enough not to question who they were and what state they were in (Ashton Kutcher), there’s also others who probably never stuck around late enough at the parties to see the seedier stuff go down.
Denzel is known to be pretty blunt if not prickly irl. Maybe he just saw enough red flags in Diddy’s personality to call him out.
I love Denzel, but I will say it’s interesting this little blurb is coming out …from whom?
